Infectious bursal disease is one of the most important killer viral disease of poultry. This study was designed for potency testing of immunized yolk in infectious bursal disease (IBD) virus infected birds and to purify yolk immunoglobulin from egg yolk of immunized hens. Twenty commercial layers were raised in poultry shed of the University and were vaccinated with oil based killed Gumboro vaccine twice at an interval of 15 days at the age of 26 weeks interval to get immuned yolk. Eggs were collected at two weeks interval till two and half months after boosting. Immune yolks were purified by chemical means. Antibody titer against IBD in egg yolk and semi purified egg yolk IgY was measured by indirect ELISA kit method. Fifty commercial chicks of 15 days old were divided into eight groups and were reared in poultry shed in the University up to 36 days. The birds were challenged at 30th day and they were provided with passive therapy of immune yolk and semi purified IgY after 3 days of challenge. The birds which received semi purified immune yolk and antibody titre having more or less 3000 showed 20% mortality in each group. In conclusion semi purified IgY and immune yolk having titer more than 4000 were relatively effective in prevention of infectious bursal disease virus infected birds and protective antibody titer remain in yolk for two and half months after killed vaccination.
